EXPLORE & EXPERIENCE KAZIRANGA LIKE NEVER BEFORE
WELCOME TO A SUSTAINABLE WORLD
Cleanliness
We conduct regular cleanliness drives in Geleki Mikir Gaon and along our trekking routes. Raising community awareness about cleanliness has been challenging, but through persistent efforts and support from local youth, we are making progress. Our goal is to establish Geleki Mikir Gaon as a clean village, and we have begun installing garbage bins along the roadside. Funds for these activities come from revenue generated through WTRP.
School Awareness Programs
We believe that teaching sustainability from an early age is crucial. We organize various programs in schools to educate children about cleanliness, hygiene and environmental conservation through games, various activities and interactive discussions.
Plantation Efforts
In 2024, on World Environment Day, we distributed and planted 40 flower, fruit, and medicinal plants. To ensure the plants' survival and reduce maintenance costs, we encouraged families to plant saplings on their property close to the roadside. This approach will allow people to benefit from the plants as they grow, providing fruit and shade for roadside passersby.
Flood Relief Support
Residents of Kaziranga play a vital role in conserving Kaziranga National Park. Each year, Kaziranga is affected by floods, forcing both animals and people to seek refuge. While animals find shelter in the Karbi Anglong hills, flood-affected families take refuge in nearby schools. With the help of our guests, friends and well-wishers, Aaghun has donated hygiene and cleanliness items to nearly 200 families in relief camps, helping them maintain cleanliness and hygiene during their stay and after returning home.
Support for Local Sports
A significant portion of the revenue from WTRP activities is used to support local sports. We assist local football teams with tournament participation and provide them with various accessories. Additionally, we support local runners in competing in state and national-level marathons and other running events.
